This episode focuses on adjusting to change with ADHD, and Blandine is joined by Anita Salimi, a biomedical science student at the University of Warwick and a lived experience perspective, and Dr. Anna Price, a Research Fellow at the University of Exeter College of Medicine and Health.
To set the scene, Anna discusses what the specific challenges are during the transition to adulthood for people with ADHD, and comments on how we can recognise where our ADHD might impact us before we reach this transitional period. Anita then shares her own experience of this and considers how her ADHD affected her when she left home as a young adult.
From the Children and adolescents with ADHD in transition between children’s services and adult services (CATCh-uS) study, and from many other studies, we know that there is a gap in services in the UK, however Anna takes this opportunity to talk about what she found from the CATCh-uS study in terms of services for young adults.
With routine considered a key strategy in ADHD management, both Anna and Anita comment on how we can create new routines which will support us as young adults during this transition period, especially as the concept of routine collapsed and changes in routines are very important in a transition.
Anna then talks about how young people can identify the right support to move safely towards independence, with Anita sharing her own experience.
Furthermore, Anna and Anita comment on what young people can do to be as ready as possible to meet and bond with new people throughout these transitions and share their three key takeaway messages to preparing for big change.
